He picked up the intercom and said to everyone with a smile: "Brothers and sisters, the road ahead is long. Let us be fully alert and make it through this tropical rainforest in one go!"

"Reliable! With Brother Qiye protecting us, what do we have to fear?"

"That's right! No matter what kind of monsters they are, I'll chop them all into paste!"

"Sister Xingxing, do you think we girls should show some appreciation? For example, make a cup of wild ginseng tea or something to cheer up Brother Qiye?"

"Haha, you guys are dreaming! I think what we should worry about now is how to deal with those mosquitoes and poisonous snakes when we get to the rain forest!"

"Don't worry, Sister Na! With Director Yan here, he will definitely prepare the most complete equipment for us. Mosquito repellent, snake-proof clothing, everything you need!"

Everyone was chatting and having fun, which alleviated a lot of the tension and anxiety.

At this time, the onlookers started a new round of topics.

[Oh my god! This Inspector Lin is going to heaven! One moment he uses the Maoshan Talisman, the next he uses the Qilin Blood, and now he even uses the Black Gold Ancient Sword! Isn’t this cheating?]

[That’s right! Isn’t this equipment too amazing? I think the tropical rain forest was crushed by it all the way, right?]

[Tsk~ You brainless fans! Inspector Lin is a cultivator after all. How can he fight monsters without some unique weapons? If you can do it, come on!]

[Get lost, you’re still talking about the world of immortal cultivation! Inspector Lin is obviously from the world of tomb robbers, right? He has come to where he is today through real skills and knowledge, unlike you who can only lick my ass!]

[Haha, you are the only one who knows the most!]

[Perhaps Inspector Lin has his own considerations. How can ordinary people like you and me guess?]

[That’s right! Don’t question others all the time, as if you are so smart! If Inspector Lin didn’t have some real skills, how could he have gotten to this point?]

[Haha, ability? I think he was just lucky and happened to catch the show crew's ride, which is why he became famous overnight! If it were someone else, they might be better than him!]

[Get lost, get lost! With your limited vision, are you qualified to judge Inspector Lin? He has been in the tomb-robbing world since he was a child. Do you know how many dangers he has experienced? Stop showing off your superiority here!]

[Come on, what tomb-robbing world? I think it's just a bunch of charlatans! No matter how great Inspector Lin is, he's just a minor character who picks up other people's ideas. If we really want to compare, we have to look at our Xingxing sister!]

[Go away, no matter how beautiful the stars are, what does that have to do with exploration? We are discussing the cracking of an ancient tomb, not a beauty pageant! Stop diverting the topic with nonsense!]

In the live broadcast room, everyone was arguing in a mess, and everyone had their own opinions on Lin Qiye's identity and abilities.

At this time, the expedition team had already approached the edge of the tropical rainforest.

The towering trees block out the sun, with aerial roots and vines crisscrossing each other. At first glance, it looks like a green ocean, full of vitality, yet exuding a mysterious aura.

The convoy slowly stopped, and everyone filed down and began to do a final check of their equipment.

"Remember, there are many dangers in the rainforest. There are snakes, insects, rats, ants, poisonous gas and miasma. You must be careful, don't act alone, and don't leave the team!"

Yan Min reminded again and again, his tone extremely serious.

Everyone nodded or agreed, and everyone was very alert.

"Don't worry, director. I've got your back! It's just a rainforest. I can pass it with my eyes closed." Cheng Long patted his chest, looking confident.

Wu Jing snorted coldly and glanced at him: "Don't show off your mediocre skills! If we really encounter any danger, who knows who will save who!"

The female stars looked even more nervous, holding their handkerchiefs and gasping for air.

While everyone was talking, Lin Qiye quietly stepped aside. He took out the mysterious jade pendant from his arms and examined it carefully.

With the magical effect of the dowsing rod, he seemed to see a faint road between the gaps in the patterns.

“This is it”

Lin Qiye muttered to himself, with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.

Soon, he walked up to Yan Min and whispered something.

Yan Min was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Listen to Master Qi! Let's set off now. Our goal is the heart of the tropical rainforest! Our tour guide will come and meet us soon."

Accompanied by cheers, the expedition team began to move forward in an orderly manner.

Just as they were about to step into the rainforest, the tour guide arranged by Director Yan suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

He was a short, dark-skinned middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties or forties.

He was wearing local indigenous clothing, a pair of straw flip-flops, and a string of colorful rosary beads around his neck.

"Hello, Director Yan!"

The man greeted Director Yan enthusiastically with a strong local accent.

Director Yan looked at the man in front of him and said, "Ga Gong, it's you?! So they called you here!"

Ga Gong smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth.

After the introduction, everyone quickly became active.

"By the way, I heard that there have been a lot of expedition teams coming here recently. Is it related to you too?" Lin Qiye asked with great interest.

"That's right. This area is indeed quite lively recently." Ga Gong nodded and suddenly lowered his voice: "But, there is something I have to remind you of."

"Oh? What's that?"

"This rain forest is not as peaceful as it seems." Ga Gong said mysteriously: "A few days ago, several expedition teams entered the forest and never came back. I don't know what they encountered."

Lin Qiye was startled when he heard this, and frowned slightly: "So, there are many expedition teams in the rain forest? Who are they?"

"Foreigners, most of them are foreigners, easy to tell."

Foreigners? Everyone was shocked when they heard the news.

"Are you sure you're a foreigner?"

"Of course." Ga Gong nodded his head: "I guess it's probably related to that ancient tomb. It's the imperial tomb of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The traps inside are very powerful. Rumor has it that many demons and monsters are suppressed there. If you break in rashly, you might suffer a great crime."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present took a deep breath and their faces turned pale.

But after a while, Cheng Long pretended to be calm and said, "Monsters? Pah! Brother Ga Gong, who are you trying to scare? We live in a scientific society now, there are no monsters, those are just words that the ancients could not explain."

Wu Jing also chimed in: "That's right! No matter how dangerous the situation is, we can easily capture it with our team. With Qi Ye protecting us, there is no danger at all!"

Yang Mi and Liu Tianxian showed fear on their faces and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Qiye, is what Ga Gong said true? Is that ancient tomb really that weird?" (End of this chapter)
